Defence Headquarters and Safe Schools Initiative Collaborate
The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) and the Safe Schools Initiative have reinforced their partnership to improve the protection of schools across Nigeria. On Thursday, Hajiya Halima Iliya, the National Coordinator of the Safe Schools Initiative, visited Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Olufemi Oluyede at the DHQ in Abuja.
The visit aimed to enhance synergy between the Safe Schools Initiative and the Armed Forces of Nigeria, focusing on securing educational environments. Established in 2014 after significant attacks on schools, including the Chibok abduction, the Initiative operates under the Federal Ministry of Finance and collaborates with various stakeholders to ensure school safety.
During the visit, Halima Iliya expressed condolences over a recent air mishap affecting Nigerian Air Force personnel and emphasized the military's sacrifices. General Oluyede acknowledged the visit and assured the Safe Schools Initiative of the Armed Forces' support, reiterating that protecting schools is a national security priority.
